An attempt was taken to synthesize two types of polyaniline (PANI) with and without solvent followed by drying in air and vacuum oven conditions resulting different morphologies. The PANIs were prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization and studied with respect to their morphological features. Scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy techniques were used for the characterization studies. The PANI synthesized with a solvent had a mixed morphology (fibrillar and granular), whereas PANI synthesized without a solvent had only a granular morphology. The direct-current electrical conductivities of the samples were evaluated with an electrometer. We observed that the PANIs with mixed morphology (with solvent) were more electrically conducting than those with a single morphology (without solvent). On drying in vacuo, the conductivity of PANI decreased from 3.3 3 10 22 to 0.3 3 10 22 S/cm with solvent treatment, whereas it decreased from 0.1 3 10 22 to 0.3 3 10 23 S/cm without solvent treatment.

An efficient, environmentally benign isocyanide-based domino protocol is presented for synthesizing spiroheterocycles with 2-amino benzothiazole/1,3,4-thiadiazole, cyclohexyl/tert-butyl isocyanides and isatines/cyclic carbonyls, catalyzed by recyclable nanocrystalline TiO2.
An efficient and environmentally sustainable domino protocol has been presented for the synthesis of structurally diverse spiroannulated pyrimidophenazines involving a four component reaction of 2hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, benzene-1,2-diamine, cyclic ketones and amino derivatives in the presence of erbium doped TiO 2 nanoparticles as a recyclable and reusable heterogeneous acid catalyst.The present synthetic protocol features mild reaction conditions with operational simplicity, excellent yield with high purity, short reaction time and high atom economy with the use of a recoverable and reusable environmentally sustainable heterogeneous catalyst.
Summary: Polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized by oxidative polymerization method using potassium dichromate (K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ) as an oxidising agent. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results confirm the emerlandine salt formation of PANI. Polystyrene and PANI based composites were prepared by solution cast method. Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) results of polymer composite film in the range of 200-400 nm indicate the interaction between neighbouring phenyl groups. Structural properties of the composite films were determined by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Morphological changes of PS-PANI film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical micrographs.
